Dalcroze Musical Arts

Starts Tuesday September 12, 2023

Runs for 28 Sessions ending in May 2024

Eurhythmics class for ages 5-7 years old. This is the 2nd Dalcroze class for young children in the series of Eurhythmics classes. In this class we use our imagination, play, songs, and movement to introduce the basics of music including note values, time signatures, dynamics, and more. Imagination is key in these classes as we move like bears, foxes, skunks, dragons, trees, snowflakes and more! The feeling generated through movement in class is translated into descriptions and words as we describe how the music sounded and how it made us want to move. These descriptions are named as musical terms that are the building blocks of music. Learning first through the body and movement enables long-term retention and understanding of music theory concepts. 

The class will start by reviewing concepts from Eurhythmics 1and then progress to further their knowledge. If your child is older, this may be a good starting point for them in the series. Please contact Lori dalcrozemusicalarts@gmail.com to talk about placement.

This class is led by the piano and a Dalcroze teacher and does not have a homework requirement.
